Transit Advocates Task Force January 10, 2021

  • Chloe Kettell, Chief Operating Officer, Fellow Fox LLC
    • There isn’t really a way for older Americans to arm themselves with tactics for protecting themselves from scams, so Fellow Fox LCC developed a 2-part online course to help with this. Each part is an hour long and it aims to act proactively to equip older adults with resources and tactics to prevent themselves from being scammed.
    • There is a community aspect to the platform so users can chat with others to share resources and information
    • Chloe asked if TATF members would be interested in providing feedback on the course
      • Wants to work with Robin to possibly make the trainings as accessible as possible
    • The course has an annual fee, but is low enough to remain accessible
  • In person meeting reports
    • CO Center on Aging – Bob Epstein
      • Bob reported that he had a preview on the legislative session that starts on Wednesday. They are sponsoring transportation bills and there’s the dialysis reimbursement bill will come up again. Bob doesn’t have the bill number yet but will update when he does.
      • Additionally, Bob reported that a bill will be presented to modify the Older Coloradans Act and redistribute funds
    • Joe Triplett reported that new RTD routes started this past Sunday and the general manager for RTD is looking at lowering the fares for the youth and seniors and others
